#chronicle of a town

[no-passaran]

In writing all of this, I fear that the modern reader, who doesn't know it, might scorn it or consider that reading it is useless. But, nevertheless, he who forgets the arts and customs of old forgets life itself, made of the struggle of men and their hard work. The history that books write to be read in schools is nothing compared to the sweat that men poured daily on their tools and work materials to fill the world with rich and beautiful things. Each one according to his possibilities —this one with his carpenter's bench, that one with the anvil or the potter's wheel, the other one with the hammer, the needle, or the distaff— increased mankind's heritage, it was beneficial to himself and it was also more beneficial to the others than the spiteful warrior, who spends without producing anything and lives off the others' effort. For this reason, with just talking about the arts and tools of our ancestors I feel like I return to their times, I enter their lives and I enter their souls like no war history would allow me to do. This is where I want to drag the reader and that [the reader] doesn't get mad at me, because my intentions are good.

Ohhh. Now that is striking. This frame in particular.

You could read as many metaphors as you like into how this matches the general Watanuki narrative here - Watanuki mirrored against a distorted image of himself. Is that his past self? Or Lava Lamp? Or the hole in the universe he's causing? His grief? The general weight of his existence? The influence he has on other people's lives? They all work well, especially with one Mokona being black and one being white.

But also (Bad Apple plays softly in the distance)

OH HELP, THAT IS TOO MUCH. 

I AM OVERCOME WITH EMOTION. 

It doesn’t even matter which Sakura is his mother, honestly it’s such a Sakura move. For his new name to be a literal promise that they will see him again. 

So, that way, his an existence proof of their promise. Every moment ‘Kimihiro Watanuki’ exists that means their promise lives on. And every time someone says his name, it’s like their words are reaching him all over again.

OH HELP THAT’S TOO MUCH. 

And that’s such a cute way to round it off! Watanuki hears Lava Lamp’s voice echo through the universe, making him promise not to vanish. And this time Watanuki can accept it honestly, because he’s already decided to do the same - for the people around him and for Lava Lamp.

I've always been dying to know what it was that Aslan said to Edmund in this conversation. Guess it's one of those things we'll just never know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway I did this a little while ago but have been thinking of painting it again with brighter colours... maybe... then again I probably won't be bothered to. We'll see.

Herlock Sholmes - Great Detective of Foggy London Town:

you’ve just been sholmed

Production Destruction:

It's just. So so good. It starts pretty simple with the parts that play as you're just walking around the level, nothing too exciting. Nice little rock track. You get to the parts that play during normal battles and you think "okay this is pretty good, headbop level but not quite a banger." And then 3:15 hits. And all of a sudden you HAVE to air guitar to it. It's the law. Does it get a little repetitive? Maybe. But it really makes you feel like you're kicking ass so who cares

Me: helicopter!!! *runs out my house and down the street in pyjamas to see it*

Another islander: “hello love, I was just coming to see what’s happening! Is it the air ambulance?”

Me, out of breath: “I dunno I’m just here cos I really like helicopters.”

Walter Gripp: I’m the last man on this abandoned planet, I can only surround myself with soulless creature comforts as to not lose my grip in reality, but how I long for human connection and comfort from another- a woman, in my wildest dreams….

Unless she’s, like, a total uggo or some fatty, am I right?
